This work provides a high-resolution data set of 1699 CRC tumor/normal pairs pinpointing 38 genes as probable AI targets based on previous literature, as well as insight into general features of AI such as high relative prevalence of fragile site deletions in microsatellite unstable (MSI) tumors and frequent formation of isochromosome i(8q) resulting in gain of the MYC oncogene. This evidence concerns the gene MYC and colorectal carcinoma.
